Rancho Santana extends across 2,700 acres of Nicaragua’s Emerald Coast, encompassing five beaches, dry forest, working farmland and wide Pacific views. The 17-room Inn anchors a broader collection of suites, casitas, residences and private homes, all using local timber, artisan-made furniture and shaded terraces rather than a single resort block. Several restaurants source ingredients from the estate’s farms and regional producers, while the 6,000-square-foot spa occupies a secluded position among the trees. Surfing, horse riding and hiking are organised on the property, allowing guests to move between beaches, trails and the stables without leaving the estate.
